WOOL.
While the Improvement in the tone of
the eastern wool market which was men
toned lsst week has not become more
pronounced, it has been sustained. Man
ufacturers are making more frequent in
quirles and dealers easily OBTAIN the
ruling prices. There are no signs of sn
advance, but oDIthe other hand, no further
decliue can be reasonably anticipated
The policy OF buyers continues to be
cautious in the extreme, snd yet here and
there manufacturers sppear TO be taking
something III excess of present wants.
The outlook Tor wooden goods is quite as
promising as at any time for some
months, and considerable business is do
ing in sample bags Of material.
In the country firmness continues TO be
the rule, ssve thst occasionally holders
under financial stress are willing to dis
pose of their stocks at concessions
Values in the fleece wool districts are
still relatively higher than on the seabosrd,
ano receipts ct Boston and Philadelphia
on consignment are in some instances
held above the market. AT London
values have been so much above the
American market that there has been
little buying for this country.
The Boston market shows no change
beYOnd somewhat improved inuuiry on
the part of manufacturers and apparently
increased confidence among holders
Michigan Y is shade frmer, but sells
for the most part at 80 cents per pound.
